We'd rather the mods spend their time doing something useful, like promoting good discussions and helping keep things on topic than waste hundreds of hours policing people who want to push the limits on sigs.

Not sure that I'd want to repeatedly see computer specs in nearly every thread/post...

Same.It IMO unnecessarily bloats a thread - I mean, is it really applicable in say the LL? Or how much info for that matter? Ugh - Pandora's Box...

The part I also don't like about specs in a sig is that while it's good to feel proud of your computer, there's people it's going to intimidate. They won't participate because they see people running latest & greatest.

...I wouldn't mind having the option to place them in profile, a la Delphi.

I'd prefer it thereif it were to be, but I always remember people having to state to look in the profile for specs. And then people would have to remember to update them... For all of it, might as well just provide what's necessary if/when there's issues IMO.

There has to be some kind of hack to make everyone happy. Just like when we post now, there is an option that says- Attach signature (signatures can be changed in profile). This should be unchecked as default, but when posting and needing info about the puter in the siggy, could easily be checked.

Our user page here is pretty small. At the rose forum we had all sorts of things that could be put there, real name, zone, interests as well as a photo, kind of like Delphi, but better.

A lot of people will use their sig lines to include some graphic that will take forever and a day for my dialup to download. (around here, it's dialup or nothing)

Allow space in the profile for system specs, but don't make it mandatory as a lot of newbies just don't know. There are people out there who WANT to explore the world of hardware, but they get the shakes just thinking about taking the cover off thanks to movies that have psycho computers in them.
